If you depend on Gmail for your email communication, but you're tired of seeing ads in your inbox, there's a simple way to get rid of them, though it may mean swapping one problem for another.

        I’m genuinely shocked that there are people out there that view ads. Between ublock and pihole depending on location I can barely think of the last ads I saw.

        Ublock isn’t going to block these ads. These ads are those little emails with the ad tag in your Social and Promotions tab, not banner ads or popups.

      I think it’s talking about emails in the Promotions tab with the word “ad” in a box at the beginning of the subject line.

        Promotion tab?

        Also, if I ever get an ad via mail, it will be immedetly reported as spam. Haven’t seen any ads outside my spamfolder for quite awhile.

          Gmail sorts email by tab. Click the triple lines and you’ll see Primary, Promotions, and Social. Basically Gmail didn’t like the word spam, so they named the folder promotions.

                Nevermind I found it under the “category” tab beneath the bin. I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on that before. I just need Inbox/Sent/All Mail/Bin/Spam and my custom labels. Everything else is just clutter.

                    I believe you can choose to have those enabled or not. Edit: turns out this is exactly what the article tells you to do.
